Candace Owens Discusses Explosive New Documentary on “The Roseanne Barr Podcast”
Candace Owens appeared on “The Roseanne Barr Podcast” Thursday and delved into various topics, including her captivating new documentary, “Convicting a Murderer.”
“Making a Murderer” took Netflix by storm in 2015, captivating audiences with the story of Steven Avery’s conviction for the murder of photographer Teresa Halbach. However, the documentary left out crucial details from the investigation and trial, casting doubt on Avery’s guilt.
Owens described her groundbreaking series as “apolitical” and highlighted how both the left and right were deceived by the manipulative tactics employed by the “Making a Murderer” filmmakers, Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos, to portray Avery as innocent.
During her conversation with Roseanne Barr, Owens revealed how audiences were manipulated into believing Avery’s innocence due to the filmmakers’ failure to provide sufficient facts.
Owens also shed light on the aftermath of the Netflix series, explaining that not only did Avery gain superfans and romantic interests, but the family of Teresa Halbach also faced harassment following its release.
The national obsession sparked by the Netflix series, which omitted key details, compelled Owens to expose the truth in “Convicting a Murderer.”
Barr’s co-host and producer, Jake Pentland, admitted to being a devoted Steven Avery fan and believed that Avery and his nephew Brendan Dassey were wrongly convicted due to their low-income status. However, after watching several episodes of “CAM,” Pentland found himself questioning everything he thought he knew.
“It’s brilliant. I mean, I’m rethinking everything,” Pentland expressed to Owens about the series.
Barr agreed, stating, “Netflix is a big old brainwasher.”
“Convicting a Murderer” has not only received praise from Barr’s producer but also boasts a 92% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes, despite not being reviewed by mainstream media outlets.
One viewer wrote, “It is mind-boggling how Netflix got away with making millions of dollars lying about Steven Avery. Thank you, Candace Owens, for always digging deep to reveal the TRUTH!”
Another viewer echoed the sentiment, stating, “This documentary sheds an entirely new light on the Steven Avery saga & depicts a much different story than the skewed version we were given on Making a Murderer.”
Don’t miss out on the first four episodes of “Convicting a Murderer” here. The remaining six episodes will be released weekly on DailyWire+ every Thursday.
When was Steven Avery released?
Avery was released on September 11, 2003. By that time, his wife had divorced him, and he was estranged from his family. Avery’s wrongful conviction case attracted widespread attention. Documentary not only had a profound impact on Avery and his family, but it also had far-reaching consequences for the Halbach family, who were subjected to harassment and unwanted attention after the release of “Making a Murderer.”
As an activist and commentator, Owens aims to correct the narrative that was portrayed in “Making a Murderer” by providing a more balanced and comprehensive view of the case in her own documentary, “Convicting a Murderer.” She emphasized that her series is not designed to prove Avery’s guilt, but rather to present all the evidence and information that was missing from the original documentary.1
Owens stated, “My series not only explores the evidence presented by the prosecution, but it also delves into the facts that were left out of the original documentary. I believe that in order to have a complete understanding of the case, it is crucial to examine all aspects of the story, not just the parts that fit a certain narrative.”
By highlighting the limitations and misleading tactics employed by the “Making a Murderer” filmmakers, Owens exposes the dangers of biased storytelling in documentaries and the potential consequences it can have on both the judicial system and the individuals involved in a case.2
Owens argued, “When a documentary portrays a convicted criminal as a victim without providing a balanced representation of the facts, it not only undermines the legitimacy of the justice system but also perpetuates misinformation that can have a detrimental impact on the lives of innocent people. It is important for viewers to critically analyze the information presented in such documentaries and seek out a complete and unbiased understanding of the facts.”
Throughout the podcast, Owens shared her goal of highlighting the need for transparency and accountability in the production of documentaries, especially those dealing with criminal cases. She emphasized the responsibility of filmmakers to present all relevant information and to resist the temptation to manipulate the narrative for dramatic effect or to fit a predetermined agenda.3
Owens concluded, ”Documentaries have the power to influence public opinion and shape the collective understanding of a case. It is crucial that filmmakers approach these projects with integrity, ensuring that they accurately represent the evidence and emotions involved, and respect the impact their work may have on the lives of those affected by the case.”
Candace Owens’ appearance on “The Roseanne Barr Podcast” provided an insightful discussion on the dangers of biased storytelling in documentaries, with a focus on the impact of “Making a Murderer” and her own documentary, ”Convicting a Murderer.” Through her work, Owens aims to shed light on the importance of presenting all the facts and evidence in a fair and balanced manner, and to encourage viewers to critically analyze the information presented in such documentaries. Whether one agrees with Owens’ viewpoints or not, her perspective and call for transparency in documentary production are certainly thought-provoking and worth considering.4
